Mikoyan Goes Wandering North Campus

Haven't been on here a while becase I've been busy with other things but I finally got around to doing a photo project that I've been putting off for a while. Namely, some photographing of North Campus. I probably picked the worst day of the year to do this but that only means I'll have to go back when the weather is much nicer.

I'm on Central Campus mostly (LSI to be exact), but I didn't know there was a statue of Claude Shannon. He is a founder in the field of information theory and has a form of entropy (information entropy, also known as Shannon entropy) named after him.

Anyway, my wife works at the recently-opened Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. It was a sad day when Children's Memorial (in Lincoln Park) closed, but the new hospital, I must say, is pretty darn amazing. I never made the connection with the Lurie Tower (the biomed research center was way after my time), so that's really neat.

That isn't the school of information north building. That building is to the left of the one you took the picture of. The building with the garage door in it is the Gerstacker Building and the tall building behind it is the Engineering Research Building.

The school of information north building does not house the school of information anymore, they have moved down to North Quad on central campus.

But you did take a lot of pictures of Lurie so that makes up for it a little bit. Recitals at 2PM weekdays at Lurie and 12PM at Burton! They are free and open to the public--take the elevator up to the bell chamber at Lurie, or up to the eighth floor at Burton and walk up the last flight of steps.
